Live drone broadcasting for sports and events
Drone signal integrated into your live production, with the latency and reliability a live show demands.
Live broadcasts
See all workDrone live streaming is the most demanding aerial filming service: the shot is not edited later, it goes on air as it happens. That changes the signal setup, the coordination with the production team and the safety margins you work with.
At KoneX Aerials we provide the complete aerial unit within the production company's setup: drone, pilot and signal output ready to go into the vision mixer. We have worked on professional basketball broadcasts for DAZN and Movistar+, where the shot has to be available the exact second the director calls for it.
When a live drone makes sense
A live aerial camera brings what no crane or rail camera can: a point of view that changes position as the action unfolds. In sports it presents the venue, follows a start or opens and closes the broadcast. At large-scale events it shows the true size of the crowd. In television it is used as a cutaway that enriches the production without slowing the pace.
How it fits into your production
The drone signal reaches the gallery as one more camera. Before the event we review the output format, the connection point and the flying position with the technical team, and agree on the communication protocol during the broadcast. The goal is for the drone to be a predictable camera on the day, not an unknown.
Live permits and safety
A live event almost always involves an audience. As a registered operator with AESA, we check the airspace at the location, the distance to people not involved in the operation and any site limitations, and handle whatever is required before the event. If a location does not allow flying under the conditions the broadcast needs, you will know in advance, not on the day.

Where we film
Frequently asked questions
Can a drone fly over an audience?
It depends on the category of the operation and the specific setting. Some configurations and distances allow it and others do not. It is studied before the event and the flying position is planned accordingly.
How does the signal reach the production gallery?
It is agreed with the technical team depending on each broadcast setup. Usually the signal is delivered at the point the gallery indicates so it comes in as one more camera on the vision mixer.
Do you work with TV production companies?
Yes. The service is designed precisely to fit into a production company's setup, providing only the aerial unit and following their timing and protocol.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Barcelona and regularly work in Barcelona, Madrid, the Basque Country and the Balearic Islands. We travel anywhere in Spain and Europe.
